scenic. The days and nights are warm, the
temperature changing but little in the
twenty .fourahours On the,,5cean side of the
hotel. in the sun rooms, the temperature is
from rs to 20 degrees. At present writing
on the land side, on the ranches, it is from

The beach stretches for miles along the
shore. and the drive on the beach, as well a,
